Got it wrong tactically but we’re still in it!

[flash]

AN 1 v 0 DM unfortunately. 
 

We looked flat. We had little plan apart from not conceding. We barely had a shot. So many players not at the races.  DM got it wrong tactically! 
 

BUT that was Sunderland at home in front of a huge crowd. Were they that good or was it yet another error from us gifting them a lead. Nothing special at all! 
 

We’re still in this. AN will set them up to sh1thouse and sweat out a 1-0.
Attack them FFS DM! We can do these.

Huddersfield away all over again

[TodwickOwl]

Camping in our own half is nothing short of an embarrassment.

 

They looked proper frail as soon as we went at them 

[0114]

Didn’t play well. Didn’t agree with Hunt not playing. 
 

However, it’s not done. It’s not the worst result. Win the game and we aren’t out. 

[debram]

Gets it wrong too often, good squad but boy should do better.

[Alb1owl]

We have to accept that Sunderland’s press totally shut our midfield down. 
 

They tired as the game went on, hence we had more possession. We HAVE to start with 100% tempo on Monday or it’ll be tough to break them down. 

[OxOwl]

No we fizzed up once n gifted them a goal.

Joke

[Fablon Dunlop]

Frustrating. 

 

I thought Sunderland looked poor for much of the game. Annoyed that we seem to sit so deep and allowed ourselves to be intimidated. Those two defensive mistakes at the back were absolutely unforgivable. 

 

Perhaps the tactic here was to let them tire themselves out for the Hillsborough visit. No idea, what I do know is that we are a goal down and will need to give Sunderland a f**king hiding when they come to us. 

 

It's all to play for. Remember that, fellow Owls.

[Mr. Chow]

Played right into their plans really. No plan b because we haven’t got one. 
 

we really need to come out fighting and we deffo need a fit bannan too.

Exactly this.

 

Dont for a minute think we played defensively on purpose, think Sunderland got in our faces, pressured us and stopped us getting any rhythm at all. Once they tired we came right into it and looked quite dominant.

[Luke]

Moore getting tactics wrong 

Never happens 

[Screen Door Slams]

Far too passive and weak.........................if DM hasn`t sussed that we look 10 times better on the front foot then I despair.

[horny owl]

The good news is that even Moore knows we’ve got to attack and win the return leg so we should be ok

I thought they looked a decent side tbh. I’m not sure if they backed off because they grew tired or because they wanted to protect their lead, but I hope they  sit back on Monday. I also thought they looked strong on each wing. 

Im sure it will look a different game on Monday though.

[deano]

Let's be honest they should have scored more than 1. 

[OwlerIT2]

Sets us up as if we are Crewe - fooookin hell we are Sheffield Wednesday let’s have a fooookin go

id rather fail fighting than trying to whimper out a 2-1 aggregate win.

No it wasn’t. In that game we had no efforts on target. It’s ridiculous to compare tonight to that game.

Sometimes you just lose football matches. Especially against good sides with thier tail up in front of 43k.
